History
Previously, Marion Trama and Paul Hayat had created and run Café Trama in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, on Rue du Cherche-Midi. Afterward, they created Tram Café Librairie, in the fifth, on Rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève, as a café-bookstore hybrid alongside bookseller Marion Wolff and Michelin-starred chef Alain Trama. Trama and Hayat had been inspired to do so after traveling to San Francisco and visiting City Lights Bookstore in 2018.In 2023, Tram Café Librairie decided to stop selling books, due to sales performance, and instead focus fully on operating as a restaurant.
